START THEM THIS WEEK…check back weekly…..We will never say start LT or LJ that is too obvious and We will never tell you to sit someone, but here are some people we really like ….you can make the sit calls or email us for our view…track how accurate we are…..we have been as good as everyone else so check us out.

now some other guys we like this week:
SLEEPER(s) OF THE WEEK….what DUD will become a STUD…at least for one week….we will try to give a QB, RB and WR/TE each week…

QB: Rex Grossman..I know I know…but the Giants secondary is not good..also Beck in Miami may be worth a look.

RB: Patrick Cobbs or S. Gado… JETS do not stop the run well and Cobbs/Gado is the next body in line in Miami…

WR/TE: Ike Hilliard…only if Garcia plays

Kicker and Defense: Like the RAMS DEFENSE this week at home vs ATL…Matt Bryant kicks his way into your hearts this week.

LOCKS of the WEEK….in a suicide pool….we can help…once again track our success. We will give you three a week.

After two years we are 118 – 51 (69.8%)…not bad!! TRULY pretty damn good…we have checked others out and we are just as good as they are!

WEEK OF 11/29/07:

1. New England over Baltimore

2. Washington over Buffalo (lots of emotion here)

3. Philadelphia over Seattle

Bonus Pick:

2007 record: 34 – 10

So I was going to write this wonderful column about the last week or two of the Fantasy Football Regular Season and then I saw this by Dave Richard…he did a great job, so why try to improve on it…If your playoffs do not start til week 15..consider changing that rule!

My Fantasy team has a playoff spot locked up. What advice can you offer me?
To have a Fantasy playoff berth with a week to go (in most leagues, the playoffs start in Week 14) is a sign that you have a solid team. Other than finalizing your bench and maybe adding some quality backup players as insurance, there isn’t a whole lot to do.
But, here are some things you should not do: Do not forget to take a look at the waiver wire this week for potential gems even if you’ll never use them. In fact, if you’re playing a team that uses the waiver wire to find a WR, TE or DST, it might benefit you to take one or two desirable options out of his player pool. If there’s a decent wideout available that could help your opponent(s), it’s better if he rots on your bench than scores points against you. That said, don’t make those moves unless you really have the available roster space.
One more item on your agenda should be to scout the remaining games on the schedule and figure out which players on your team have the best matchups. And if there’s a week when your lesser starters have difficult matchups, hit the waiver wire to find one or two guys you consider replacing him with.
Again, owners who will have more Fantasy fun won’t have to make many changes because their team is so good as it is. After all, they did clinch already.

My Fantasy team has playoff hopes but no spot locked up. What advice can you offer me?
Take the above advice with one other precious nugget: Don’t overthink things. If you’re platooning at one spot, take the guy with the better matchup if he has a good track record to back it up. If you’re unsure, check our player rankings to see who we would advise starting.
Furthermore, if you’ve got a player or two with an injury tag, glue yourself to our site. We know that Week 13 is a very important week, and we will deliver relevant injury information for your Fantasy players this week as soon as we learn about them. Check in with us daily.
Finally, if you’re in a "win and you’re in" situation, not only go over your roster with a fine-toothed comb, but your Week 13 opponent’s roster as well. See what you’re up against, and if there’s anything you can do to combat a potential roster move. To sum up, get yourself in the best position you can to win.

My Fantasy team has no playoff hopes. My season ends after Week 13. What advice can you offer me?
My condolences for not making the playoffs (there’s a few leagues I’m in where I’m not going to make it either). This has been a crazy Fantasy season and I’m sure your best-laid plans went awry early on. However, don’t get angry and don’t get bitter.
Some folks believe that if you’re out of the playoff hunt, you shouldn’t bother making roster moves. I dismiss that belief (and the belief that burgers shouldn’t be eaten with cheese). If you’re playing in a Fantasy game, then you’re playing to win. Why do anything that would jeopardize that goal? Think of it like this: The Dolphins are 0-10, but they’re still making roster moves and trying to win NFL games.
Furthermore, if you’re not going to have the joy of making the playoffs, then maybe you’ll have the joy of costing someone else a playoff spot if you win! And that’s something fun to hold over someone’s head for the next eight months.
I’ll close with this: If you’re in a league with a bitter loser of an owner who is dropping good players, not setting his lineup or sulking like a 12-year-old girl, ask your commissioner to kick him out of the league. Fantasy Football is supposed to be fun, and if someone in your league is disrupting that, he should eat pavement.

Good Luck!

Now onto the week that was. CHECK BACK EACH WEEK TO SEE WHAT is going and went on!

TRADE BAIT(s): NONE..if your league still allows trades at this point…change this rule asap…all this does is allows dumping!

Hot Pick up(s) of the week: Any Denver RB…seriously find out who is on their practice squad…they are dropping like flies…try these guys if desperate…Cecil Sapp – DENVER, Fred Jackson – BUFFALO, Patrick Cobbs – Miami…
